Easy DIY Thank You Gift

Homemade thank you gifts don’t have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. Check out this easy thank you gift idea using donuts and cinnamon rolls from your local grocery store’s bakery department case. Cookies or mini brownies would work well too.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE
1. Place the styrofoam block into the gift box.
2. Cover the top of the styrofoam with decorative shredded paper.
3. Thread each donut onto a cookie stick. Add a few donut holes onto some of the sticks.
4. Insert the cookie sticks into the styrofoam, arranging them in the shape of a bouquet.

5. Add a personal note of thanks or a thank you gift tag.

Viola! One thing I love about this easy homemade thank you gift idea is that you can make several donut bouquets without taking up to much time or spending a lot of money. A donut bouquet is also a perfect thank you gift to bring to your doctor’s office or other group setting.

If you’re taking your gift on-the-go, you can either wrap each skewer with a party bag and twist tie, or simple cover the entire bouquet with a cellophane gift basket wrapper.

I’ll be gifting our sweet MOPS leader with this special DIY thank you gift to show my appreciation for all she’s done for us over the past year. Ashley is famous for her sweet tooth (and completely unashamed of it which I love about her) so there’s no better way to say thanks to her than with a sweet treat from the local grocer’s in-store bakery department!

A special person in my life that I’d like to surprise with a gift from the local grocer’s in-store bakery department is my older sister. She’s been through multiple surgeries this past year and experienced infections. She could use a little uplifting gift to know I’m thinking about her!

I would surprise my mother. She is 81 and just recently lost most of her sight, and this has saddened her greatly to lose her independence.
This is such a lovely and sweet (easy) idea, that would make anyone’s day Brighter! Thank you so much for sharing, and I will definitely be making this.

Oh I would love to surprise my sister. Her son has very low functioning autism, and she is homebound with him as he cannot be left alone for even a few minutes. She has dedicated her life to caring for him, and does such a great job. She gets out of the house a couple times a week to run to the grocery store…but that is all. I think this would be wonderful for her!

I would love to surprise this to my son, he is a hard working man that works 40 hrs a day, then comes home and has a business at home that he then works most of the rest of the day, but still has time for his wife and his 4 children all under 8 with another one on the way in Feb.

I would surprise my mom. She lives by herself about 600 miles away. We talk on the phone several times a week and check in on the computer (she finally got one :)). I miss her everyday. She deserves a surprise to know we are thinking about her

I would love to surprise my dear friend who just found out she has stage 4 breast cancer. She had been so positive and a huge inspiration to so many and I would love to bless get in any little way I can.

I would like to share it with my coworkers. We work at Social Services and we have to man the shelters when they open. We all had shelter duty last week with Hurricane Matthew. I think they could go with a little sweet treat~

My daughter is a high school senior and she is finishing up her college applications. She has been working so hard to get into an architecture school, and not only writing her application essays but also putting together her art portfolio. I’d love to surprise her with these goodies!

This is such a cute idea! We have a neighbor who every weeks comes and puts our trash to the curb for us. He mows our yard in the Summer and does so much. He never expects us to pay, we always make him things and always remember him on Holidays. This is such a cute idea to do for him! My kids would love to make it!

This is a great idea! I think it would be a fun surprise for my kids on their birthday too! But the first person that comes to mind is my business partner. Our business-versary is coming up and she’d love something like this!

Thank you!
